genshin impact failed to connect to server
Okay, so, let me tell you about this little adventure I had the other day. I’m a huge fan of Genshin Impact, right? Love the game. But the other day, I tried to log in, and boom! “Failed to connect to the server” popped up on my screen. Talk about a mood killer.
First thing I did was stare at the screen for a good minute, like that would somehow magically fix it. It didn’t. So, I did what any reasonable person would do – I restarted the game. Nope, still the same error. Okay, time to get a little more serious.
Next, I thought, maybe it’s my internet, you know? So, I checked my connection, ran a speed test, everything looked fine. I even restarted my router, just to be extra sure. Still nothing. Genshin Impact was still giving me the cold shoulder.
At this point, I was getting a bit frustrated. I mean, I just wanted to play my game! I started to think, maybe it’s my PC. Maybe some setting was interfering with the game or there is something wrong with my pc. I checked my firewall and made sure that Genshin Impact was allowed through. It was.
My Troubleshooting Steps
- Restarted the game (didn’t work)
- Checked my internet connection (all good)
- Restarted my router (still didn’t work)
- Checked my firewall settings (Genshin Impact was allowed)
- Reinstall the game(Work out finally!)
Finally, I decided to try the nuclear option: reinstalling the game. I mean, it was a long shot, but I was out of ideas. So I uninstalled it, downloaded the whole thing again, and waited. And guess what? It worked! I was so relieved, I almost did a little happy dance. I do not know what is wrong with the game, reinstalling solved it. What a day!

So yeah, that’s my story of how I wrestled with the “failed to connect to server” error in Genshin Impact and finally emerged victorious. It was a bit of a headache, but hey, all’s well that ends well, right?
